- Although the basketball relationship between Pippen and Barkley didn't last to long and ended in pretty ugly fashion, this two stars had some really great games.
One of them, and probably the best, is Game 3 of the 1999 Western Confernce First Round series against the Lakers with Shaq in his prime and Kobe as his sidekick. Lakers won both games at home and Rockets looked to avoid the sweep -- Pippen and Chuck took care of buisness...
Scottie scored 37 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and played the entire game. Barkley scored 30 points and grabbed 23 rebounds (8 on the offensive end) against 27 year old Shaq. Unreal game by this great duo. - กีฬา
Ive seen more post ups in this game than I've seen in the last 5 years
Pippen was such a great player
One of the greatest to ever play the game. Jordan was blessed to have guys like Pippen and Rodman.
Pip was unstoppable!
Imagine Pippen, Barkley and Olajuwan coming at you at full steam... an unstoppable offensive arsenal
Imagine if they had hakeem barkely and pippen all in their prime.
They would have been a scary trio and would have won the championship. One of the greatest frontcourts if they were in their primes.

Better yet, just imagine them healthy this particular season. they win a title EASILY.
pippen killin kobe here in the post
yeah would love to see more prime pip vs kobe. although pip was already on decline at this point
Kobe himself was NOT a superstar in 99. He was arguably at that level in 2000, but you could still make a case against it. I think he was clearly a superstar caliber player by 2000/01. Prime Pippen and Prime Kobe never crossed paths. It was Old Pippen and Too Young Kobe.
But I see a number of what I think are Rockets fans here. I am a Laker fan, I was around back then. I remember after Scott fumbled the ball in the final secs of Game 1 at The LA Forum with HOU up one causing LA to take the lead and eventually win on a great block by Shaq on Cat Mobley. Houston Chronicle iirc called Pippen "Ham Hands". There was disappointment that he flubbed a winnable game after all the hype surrounding his acquisition. After the series, I recall Pip saying, "I'm sorry I came here to play with his (Charles') sorry fat butt."
Of course mismatch

At least Kobe was improving and an All NBA player. Pippen was 33 years old, with a basically broken back and bum knees. I’d take a young player entering his prime, over an old man coming off a career altering injury he needed surgery for.
Pippen played the entire game. no one can do that in this era..
I think this is the game Chuck guarded Shaq the entire game and did a good job on him.
The same could be said for Pippen was truly Jordan's meal ticket. Jordan could have never won any rings without a talent like Pippen.
Yeah, the game before this Pippen had like 3pts on 0% shooting. Truly Jordan's meal ticket lol right
Personally I think Sir Charles demanded the ball too much.Yea I understand the dream getting his touches of course.But I think Pip game was at a higher level by that time.Even with the injuries.But this is when Barkey is truly on his last breath.While Pip went a couple of more solid years even with the back surgery.
Barkley was Rocket's best player in these series...he avg 24-14 by shooting 53fg%....i don't think it was his fault Houston lost...Hakeem was terrible
actually it was coach rudy tomjanovic who wanted barkley to post up in most of the plays that the rockets have which is why pippen left the following year because he doesnt like the system. barkley at that time was not in his best shape but he still is dominant on the post which attracts double teams and open up other players
If Charles had Shaq's size he would've been the most dominant player of all time.
He had a good midrange game, he would
@@supervegito8513 %%55 fg career midrange and 54 %% fg overall
He was a decent free throw shooter too. Easily a 30-15 guy if he was 7'1
@@fuckthechinesevirus9462 Barkley is past his prime when he was in Houston. He was doing 30-15 when he was in Phoenix. If Shaq's size he could easily do 40-20.
@@darius3379 You are exaggerating
Pippen still my number 1 pick for small forward
because you know very little of the game..check other legendary sf stats and you ll see that scottie as great as he was is not even close..
Dammm I been lookin for footage with pip in houston...this is nice!!!!!!!
Pippen is one of the best SF ever and yes Sir Charles was beast...
Wow, NBA has no Teams like this anymore...
Never mind people saying Jordan took Kobe school, Pippen takes Kobe to school!
i shook my head when I saw this.
The Rockets would have won game 1 if it wasn't for the bad calls by the refs at the end of the game. I would have loved to seen this series go to 5.
Pippen,The Dream and Sir Charles!!! Only if were half of what they were in their prime. Prime Shaq and young Kobe wouldn't stand a chance.
great performance eventhough both have pass their prime...so did hakeem...imagine if those 3 playing together in their prime!of course la were younger and won the series.
So crazy to see a young Kobe Bryant in this video.
Pippen's stats wouldn't look good as it had to be shared between three superstars, at least. But how many can perform like like this at 34 year old, in a new team, with serious back injuries? If MJ joined them, he or any of the other two might quit halfway. Huston had the chance that year, but Olajuwon and Barkley were unexpectedly worn out.
the only thing about this was the rockets waited to game 3 to go to pippen in the post against kobe it was clearly a mismatch kobe was'nt big or strong enough to handle pippen.
That Rice for Campbell/Jones trade and the dumping of Van Exel (and the firing of Harris after 12 gms) killed that 1999 Lakers team. Jones and Van Exel were all stars the year before. The way they lost to Utah in the 98 Conf Finals propelled West to have to dump NVE as addition by subtraction. He got into his final spat with Del Harris on camera during a playoff game and that was the final straw for Nickey V. Jerry Logo West only got Ty Lue and Tony Battie (traded later for Travis Knight) for Van Exel. That's how bad Nick's reputation was at that point. He got his act right after the trade, but I don't think he could handle Los Angeles. So now you've got ancient Derek Harper either starting or backing up Derek Fisher and you've got a mediocre tweener (JR Reid) playing PF over Horry (a natural 3). You see Reid trying to stop Barkley and laugh. That was numerous times WORSE against Duncan and Robinson. Timmy naturally killed him.
Lakers barely found a niche for Rice as a 3rd option when Phil took over, but not on the fly in the 50 gm 99 season. He went from 25 ppg as a 1A option in Charlotte to a number 3 option overnight. Glen Rice is another version of Allan Houston. They may be two of the greatest pure shooters ever, but if you're depending on them as star players, you're gonna be disappointed unless your team is set up to get them open looks and screens (a la Indiana; and Miller was a great runner -- Rice wasn't). Had Rodman not been an addicted nutjob, he would've been playing Reid's role against Duncan, Chuck, Karl, Rasheed, etc. He was done after 98 tho, mentally. He still actually DID have a year or two left in him. He wasn't that far removed from the 98 Bulls title team, remember. He wasted that opportunity tho. He was crying like a suicide case at the press conf announcing his SIGNING, haha. That was a bad omen.
Houston was better than rice
this would be a fun team on 2k13
Wow...just wow!!!
I think if Barkley had taken better care of himself, he could've remained effective longer. He just didn't have any lift at that point. If he were 20 pounds lighter, I think he would've still been a big force to deal with. Not only was Pippen 34 but he had come off some long playoff runs and that wears on you.
You can't assure that you'll be alright health-wise if you're a 6'4" power forward who's been constantly clashing with behemoths
True words. This season was Pippen’s first in his career in which he was eliminated in the first round.
Wish we could've won that 3rd ring though :(
the dream team 1
That Rockets sucked. They were #8 in 98. Why would they be different in 99? Barkley was old and fat, Olajuwon old. They had no bench. Carr was like 37. Why Pippen would choose go there? But to say Pippen is overrated must be one of the dumbest things ever in game of basketball.
B. Entringer The Houston Rockets had a good 1996/97 season with Hakeem Olajuwon the best center in the NBA. He had like 30pts & 10reb against the Jazz in the WCF. The 1997/98 season was not good because Clyde, Chuck and the Dream all suffered a lot of injuries. Don't forget that this "old team" lost only 3-2 against the Utah Jazz ! Without injuries, it could be a different story...
i read MJ biography, Pippen had been so underpaid at Bulls and Rocket offer is very good. I think went to Rocket still a sensible choice.
dude stfu
Pippen got a very good offer to play for Houston. Also, Chicago and Houston dominated the 90's. Just too bad these two teams never met in the finals.
+@@595703
If they met in the Finals in the 90s
1991-1994 Rockets dismantles the Bulls (The Rockets were the only team that really gave Bulls a losing record 6-2 for 4 years)
1996-1998 Bulls dismantles the Rockets
Game 4 was much more definitive o the matchup! Go Lakers!
5:30 This was fat Barkley in his mid-30s at the end of his career. Guy could still move unreal.
thanks larry
With Barkley the Rockets could dominate Seattle. But with Horry and Cassel the Rockets could dominate Utah. Pick your poison. If I were the Rockets GM at the time I would have attempted to get Otis Thorpe back for the 95-96 season. He was still being traded around the league and could have been had for a lot less than Barkley. We gave up too much for Barkley. Thorpe was Hakeem's best right hand man and criminally underrated.
They never dominated Seattle, they went a full 7 games in 97 and went down to the wire, very evenly matched.
EnduringArts Fun fact Thorpe was traded to Vancouver for a first round pick in 03 which turned out to be #2 overall.
Sonics 12-0 them for 3 staight seasons. 1994, 1995, 1996. Sonics got Houston's number. While they tried to add players to compete for the Sonics line up, they sacrificed everything else.
Houston's line up of Olajuwon, Maxwell, Horry, Thorpe, Cassell, Kenny Smith was the perfect line up to beat everyone in the NBA except the Sonics. While the Sonics got their numbers. Houston got the Bulls number. Ironic to think if only Houston had beaten the Sonics in 1993 and 1996 playoffs. Houston vs Bulls could have happened. And Houston could have tainted MJ's flawless finals record
@@EnduringArts Seattle would have won Game 7, if they had home court advantage
i completely forgot about this year
The real Playoff P
scottie should have scored 50 in this game missed some easy ones.
Pip is the good player,best Defends,good Rebounds
tried to study the post moves but couldnt cos theres only one pixel..
Olajuwon barkley , either one of them will be traded to michael jordan, they will get another ring here in rockets , they will beat lakers and its nice to see that their duo is very dangerous even on houston uniform
Such a shame they didn't win that ring
Pippen and Barkley show that's it's not quite time to pass the torch yet
panis si kobe.......kay pippen.......hahaha
they should of still won a ring together look at the big three of the celtics ray allen n kevin garnet were not in their prime ethier in they won a ring but yea pippen n barkley my respect hall of famers
Your English could have used some work
0:08 see how the ball bounces of the rim and goes in, that is because of magnets. played a lot of basketball and that shit never happens
The lost year in the NBA that is 1999
boy why break up a dynasty? the bulls had it in 94 and 95 as well as 99, 00 and 01 smdh
we had hakeem skottie pippen and Charles barkley? lol too bad they were old
so and why bring it up
This game was the way their season and championship run was suppose to go with domination in the middle while being a good perimeter threat. Thing is, Barkley didn't bring it every night or keep himself in shape, Pippen was overrated IMO and really didn't have the heart to dominate every single night. This was probably Pippen's best game of the entire season and playoffs.
first of all both barkley-pippen but mostly hakeem were far away from their prime!...barkley was 36,pippen 34 and hakeem 37 at that time!barkley had great series,he had 24-14-4...pippen had 18.5-12-6 and dominate young kobe!actually glen rice was lakers 2nd best player with 19p and of course shaq with 30-10-4blocks!
YEAH
Keith Glass Hakeem was the best in the game dumb ass. Robinson was next. There were plenty of players i'd take in front of Pip during those years including Penny Hardaway and Shaq. Yea he was overrated and you just proved it with your comment.
Scottie Pippen follow thru looks weird
I love it, this just goes to show how OVERRATED the Lakers were. Kobe/Shaq (HoF'ers) & G.Rice (All-Star) couldn't beat 3 old superstars, ALL past their prime. not to mention how the refs RAPED the Kings, so the Lakers could win, 25+ FT's in the 2nd half alone!!! It's laughable when assholes try to mention Kobe/Shaq = or > MJ/Pip. You NEVER saw the refs have to rig ANY series so the Bulls'd win, b/c they had lock down defense. & MJ/Pip beat Pistons, & Pistons had 3 HoF'ers - Zeke, Dumars, & Worm, w/ nothing more than role players, b/c H.Grant didn't make an All-Star game until MJ retired.
Tbh barkley and pippen is not really a duo
